This story is A.R (Alternate Reality, for those who can't figure it out)
and involves characters that we made up.

Sailor Moon and Co. do not belong to me, gee darn! The characters (Sun,
Star, Illusion, and Earth) are copyrighted to Lena
and myself, so please ask first. Profiles for all of these characters are
available upon request.

Now that all the technical crap is taken care of, on with the story.

Chapter 3: The Showdown

Over the next few days, the Sailor Scouts faced off against many monsters
all commanded by either Prince Darien or Malichite. Sailor Illusion noticed
the heated rivilry between the two generals.

"Did you hear that Serena got into the Rose Finishing School?" Lita asked
at the meeting.

"Yes, she's taking the princess semenar." Amy added.

"How did she get in? She can't dance, she has no table manners and she can't
eat properly." Raye said.

"I wonder what it's like." Mirage said, quietly.

"Well there's one way to find out." Mina started, grinning like a
chesire cat.

"Crash the semenar?" Lita asked.

Mina nodded and smiled.

"Let's do it." Raye said.

Mirage, Luna and Artemis sighed.

"I'm getting a migraine." Mirage said, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

"I know what you mean." Luna replied.

Later that day, the group got into the semenar. Mirage was able to
convince the countess that they were the foriegn exchange
students that she was expecting. They were admitted and given
their dresses and jewelry for the evenings final tests. As they were
escorted out onto the floor by thier dance partners, they searched
for Serena. They found her and her poor dance partner trying to
waltz.

"Hey, Serena, how's it going?" Raye asked as she danced past.

Serena gasped and looked at her friends.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked.

"We had to come and check this out." Lita said.

Amy and Mirage danced by without saying anything. *I always did love the
waltz.* Mirage thought as she spun around the floor.

Mina, Raye and Serena ended up stepping on their partners' toes numerous
times.

"Remember, ladies, this is the final course in the Princess Semenar. All
who's shoulders I touch will pass the Princess Semenar." the countess said.

Mirage saw Lita and Amy get tapped and continued dancing. A few moments
later she felt the countess touch her shoulder. She smiled slightly
and continued dancing until the music stopped. She curtsied to her
partner and turned to listen to the countess.

"All who's shoulders I touched, please go to the foyer where you will
recieve your diplomas." Countess Rose said.

Lita, Amy, amd Mirage passed a very bummed looking Raye, Mina and Serena.

"Later, girls." Lita said.

The door closed behind the graduates and the three girls sighed, "It's not
fair."

Mirage, Amy, and Lita walked down the hallway to the foyer. Once entering,
the three instantly went on guard. The room was filled with wax figurines.

"What's with all the manekins?" Lita asked.

"They're not makekins. They are all ladies that have passed my semenar.
Lovely posture, don't you think?" Countess Rose said.

"Countess Rose?" Amy cried.

Lightening flashed and a funky sea-mermaid looking creaturn appeared in
place of Countess Rose.

"Oh no, she's from the Negaverse." Mirage said.

"The name's Polite Society. Pleased to meet you ladies for the first and, I
assure you, the very last time." the monster said with a curtsy.

"Illusion Crystal..."
"Jupiter..."
"Mercury..."

The creature fired it's attack and froze the three girls in mid-phrase.
Polite Society smirked and walked up to the statuettes. She plucked
the transformation objects out of their hands with a smile.


"Three Sailor Scouts. Won't Mr. Malichite be pleased?" she smirked.

She vanished to reappear in front of the other girls.

"Good evening, ladies." Polite Soceity cooed.

"Ah, it's a monster!" the men yelled, running away.

"Leaving so soon, gentlemen?" she asked, waxing them.

"Now, I know that one of you three is Sailor Moon."

"And how would you know that?" Raye asked.

"Because Sailor Moon would never have what it takes to pass my Princess
Semenar." Polite Society replied.

"So she's a klutz." Mina said.

"And she's got no manners." Raye added.

"Okay! So I'm not perfect, but you guys are supposed to be my friends!"
Serena yelled.

"Ah, so you're Sailor Moon."

Luna and Artemis jumped at Polite Society, momentarily distracting her.

The three girls escaped out the window and transformed.

"Venus Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Moon Crystal Power!"

The three finished transforming and confronted Polite Society. Frustrated,
Polite Society tossed the two cats and waxed them.

"NO! Luna!" Sailor Moon cried.
"Artemis!" Venus added.

"They're not the only of your friends that I have in my collection."

"What are you talking about?" Mars asked.

Polite Society opened her hand to reveal the wands of Jupiter and Mercury
and the locket of Illusion.

"I also have Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Illusion."

Prince Darien appeared beside Polite Society with a bow.

"Good evening, Polite Society." Darien said.

"Good evening, Prince Darien."

"Alright you polite piece of Nega-trash. We want our friends back now!"
Sailor Moon said.

"Give us the crystal, Sailor Moon and we'll give you back your friends.
Darien said.

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

Polite Society waxed Mars' fire, much to her surprise.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

Another waxed attack.

"She waxed my beam and Mars' flame." Venus said.

"What will we do if I can't hit her either?" Sailor Moon asked.

"There's nothing that you can do!" Malichite said, "Prince Darien, leave."
he added, venom evident in his voice.

Darien ignored him.

"Get the Imperium Silver Crystal!"
"No! Get Sailor Moon!"
"Silver Crystal!"
"Sailor Moon!"

"Solar Star Burst!" a new voice yelled.

The argueing men instantly vanished as an attack hit where they had been
standing. The Sailor Scouts looked around, bewildered.

"Who threw that?" Prince Darien asked.

A shrill whistle attracted everyone's attention to the roof of the building.
A sillouette of a sailor scout with long hair contrasted with the full moon.

"This monster is not what it seems, Sailor Moon." a smooth female voice
called.

The figure quickly jumped away, leaving them alone once again.

"Oh, I have a terrible headache." Polite Society said, messaging her
temples.

"Oh you poor dear, would you like a cup of cocoa to perk you up?" Sailor
Moon asked.

"Yes, but it is preferrable to say would you care for a cup of cocoa."
Polite Society sighed.

"Aha! Moon Healing Activation!"

The countess reappeared in a flash and the three sailor artifacts dropped
to the ground beside her. Sailor Mars quickly gathered them as Prince
Darien and Malichite vanished. Sailor Moon sighed and the three made their
way to the roof to see if they could find anything on this new sailor scout.

In the foyer the three sailor scouts were unfrozen.

"Huh? What happened?" Lita asked, looking at her empty hands.

All of the girls were confused. Mirage, Amy and Lita looked up to see the
outlines of their comrades in the moonlight. They quickly left the building
and made their way to Raye's temple. They arrived to find each of their
friends holding one of their transformation objects in hand.

"Good evening, girls." Serena said, smoothly.

"Lose something?" Raye asked, examining Amy's wand.

"You'll never guess where we found these." Mina smiled, tossing the locket
of Illusion up and down.

Mirage snatched her locket out of mid-air and glared at her partner. Lita
and Amy caught their wands as Raye and Serena tossed them to the two girls.

"Enough. We have news to discuss." Artemis said.

"News? What news?" Mirage asked.

"We have a new sailor scout." Luna said.

"What? Where is she?" Lita asked, looking around.

"We don't know who she is or where she came from." Raye said.

"Yeah she just appeared like Tuxedo Mask does...did." Serena said, quietly.

"Well, if she is anything like Tuxedo Mask, she'll arrive just in time to
save our butts." Mina said.

"What did she look like?" Amy asked.

"Couldn't really tell. All we saw was a sillouette, but she was tall and
had long hair." Mina said.

"A new sailor scout will be wicked cool." Lita said.

"Yes, we will benefit from a new member." Amy said.

"I agree." Mirage said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Students, I have a new student. I would like you to meet Rissa Longly."
the teacher said.

Raye looked at the new girl. She was gorgeous. She had her lengthly red hair
pulled up in a ponytail that reached her knees.

"Rissa, you may take the seat next to Raye." Ms. Katsuri said.

The girl nodded and walked over to her new seat.

Raye smiled and stuck her hand out to the new girl.

"Hello. My name is Raye Hino, pleased to meet you." Raye said.

"It's a pleasure." the girl said with a smile.

The two shook hands and Raye felt the familier flame, which gave her power,
in the other girl's touch.
